Long Convolution Poems

As I ascend the podium, a predator of piquant pontifications, my eyes ravage the assemblage of adversaries, their countenances a canvas of consternation and morbid fascination. The atmosphere is heavy with the miasma of malignant...

The Conditions of Living

Stark organisations of my observations
Respond to beauty with pure elation 
Instead of chronic devastation 
Process the abject consternation 
From contrived over-saturation 
And acute mass manipulation 
That should be in legal confiscation
Truth found...

Why is it so frustrating to be frustrated?

Frustration,
a knot in the chest, a choke of the mind,
a silent scream in the loudest noise,
a dance with shadows, lost in the void.

It's the itch you can't scratch,
the...

My mind is like a haunted house,
and you are the restless spirit;
the poltergeist inside of it.
But in fact, it’s not really you:
it's just the remain of a once-called-precious vestige     
of my love for you.

A grain of Sand
 
A grain of shifting sand, lying upon life’s shore.
Captured –carried within turbulent winds, doth soar
into the unknown ether, until, tis no more
that created this heart, a heart became so sore.
There isn’t...

A Wordsmith’s pen
Is mightier than the sword
For he can turn a tricky word
Into a verbal weapon
And win the day against the hoard
The words of the Bard
It’s not very hard
The turn of a friendly card
The changing...

“A Reckoning of Illumination”

Autumn winds fall delicately upon my weary soul 

Light from a heavenly place surrounds my interpretation of the scripture 

Elemental hues of grace cascade down from the enlightened sky 

A mystical proposition...

Temper in my voices circling a man they break.
Vapors of a flame the scars of a love so fake
Breaking through the layers of a dream their aspirations
Imitating reflections of the pills we call medications

What, exactly, am I to understand
    about your behavior?
There’s a desperation in your movement
    that belies your grace
as you scan the pub for your savior
    with that smile-cemented face.

My glance shifts to new perspectives,
    discontent cycles anew
when trying to...

I have walked the Earth and now my path tapers,
twisted ambivalence has me dancing on the razor,
contamination seeps through every reinforced layer,
I aim at two protectors but which one is the traitor?


Already exhausted, no finish...

Ah yes, they were right all along
I’m speaking of human evolution.
Sorry folks. In the past I was wrong.
Those facts were a convolution.

For saying in the past, 
that evolution could not cross a class,
I certainly apologize.
That...

My toes squirm
like fat little worms
through this moist soil
they let go of their convolution;
disconnect from the brain that tells them
each day
what they are
and are not.
Here they are just so.

My hands grab
like the beaks of birds
these...

To know their motive,

Mind marooned 
in complex convolution,
obscurity singular 
in each living entity. 
The psyche silhouettes
unique elements,
to alien attributes 
they won’t adhere. 

The reserved recess 
hides the riddles, 
sub-conscious search 
completely clueless. 
Probing entreaty, 
the preserve persuasive
of outside...

Expectantly through the dingy window I gape
Lucid for now but only flickering
Waiting not so patiently, coveting escape
Reflecting on the spectral fervent whisperings

Drawn deeper into the haunted labyrinth
Crushed by the ache of this place
Catching fleeting images...a...

Time is -
the healer and stealer of all things.

You heal my wounds yet leave the scar
as a remembrance
lest I forget
from whence you came

You took the truth of a promise
and made it a victim of convolution,
sucked...

My lady of convolution 
You’re the one that called my soul
 To trace the path of no return 
Leaving me in haze
 Unable to seek your voice
 
My lady I know you not 
Yet you...

Last night I asked my sisters
Why they were not hooting
Little owl said no one missed her
She would hoot when she so suited

Middle owl asked why did I care
Hooting is not what it used to be

You say we need a total bloody revolution

Ah yes, do you remember

The reasons for the American revolution?
Wasn’t one because of religious persecution?
How about morals before their convolution?
When presidents upheld the constitution?

When  the amendments
weren’t pretendments ?

And the system of checks and balances...

I'm sipping a cup of warm tea while I read, and 
it occurs to me how simple and good some 
things can be without a convolution of extra

which kind of...
